I enjoy the bilingual books.
I enjoy many books that have received the Jane Addams Peace Association Children’s Book Awards!
these books are great for that
Your series is really good. Thanks for writing it.
I actually have a few of these If you were me books. I think these are a wonderful way to introduce your child to other cultures. My son loves me to read these to him.
Gosh, the Carole P. Roman books I’ve seen the past few months look wonderful. I also like “One Green Apple” by Eve Bunting and “All the Colors of the Earth” by Sheila Hamanaka, among others.
Your series is the best
Trevor’s Story is good
My grandchildren have been reading All The Colors of The Earth. I’m not sure what others there are but this series is a great way to teach them. Thanks for the chance.

We already have one of these books in our library and would love to have the entire set.
